To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, GEORGE F. EBERHARI), a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvenientin Harness-Findings,

' of which the following is a specification My invention consists of a drop pad-hook formed of two parts cast separately; one of the parts being the hook formed with an annular recess or bearing, and the other being the vfastening-plate, adapted to receive and cover the recessed end of the hook, as hereinafter more particularly described.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a plan of the hook and plate together, and Fig. 2 isaverticalseotion of the same. Views of a modified form of my newly-invented device herein described.

The hook a is formed with an annular recess, a, by means of which it is retained and permitted to turn from side to side in its bearings in plate 8. This plate is cast with a recess, c, in its under side, having an enlargement at 0, to receive and be fitted by the recessed end of the hook. It is also formed with rivet-holes 0, through which it is to be fast ened to the back-band of aharness-pad, either with or without an intermediate thin metal plate, as maybe preferred.

Figs. 3 and 4. are similarrecessed part of hook a, and then bent together again to form a bearing for the hook.

In both forms of construction herein de scribed the end of the hook connected with the plate is covered by the latter.

I claim as my invention 1. A drop pad-hook for harness, consisting of a hook formed with an annular recess or bearing, and a plate formed with a recess in its under side to receive and cover the bearing end of the hook, substantially as described.
